Faking it.

Author: Unknown

I've been called a femme fatale,
but I think that I'm a fake.
I never meant to be the cause,
but true, some hearts did break.
You might consider me to be
a wolf dressed up as mutton,
but I've never yet met a femme fatale
with a self-destruct button.

Hi Bill, yes, I may just delete my entire profile and put 'looking for the one fella that understands irony within 100k'. Or just delete the profile and say nothing. First day up here and my verbal diarrhoea (spelling?) is showing. Oops! Thanks again, what say we share the bottle?!

Best wishes

Thanks fellas! Wish I had a real glass now....no Asda here Bill, and the nearest Aldi is a 30min drive, sigh. Should go to bed anyway, so we'll raise another glass tomorrow maybe...

this is great stuff! 'a wolf dressed up a mutton' though? please dress as lamb - much tastier (mint sauce - mmmmm!)

nice write

ObliquidieOPClare, IrelandFeb 12, 2011

MMmmm, Ladybee....mint sauce! Yes, but it's a play on 'sheep dressed as mutton' AND 'wolf dressed as lamb'. It said what I thought!! Thanks for the comment...and the idea for tomorrow's dinner...
